A 152-wheel truck was needed to move the cutter head of the tunnel boring machine 'Monica.' It is the key to Australia's 'water battery'

A 152-wheel truck moved the 137-ton center section of the Monica tunnel boring machine in Cooma, Australia, for assembly on the Snowy 2.0 project.

Monica will help excavate a tunnel segment in difficult geology as part of the massive Snowy 2.0 hydroelectric storage scheme.

Snowy 2.0 links reservoirs with tunnels and an underground power station to store energy and support Australia’s grid with renewable backup.

The transport and assembly highlight the huge logistics behind one of Australia’s most ambitious energy infrastructure projects.
